i cant believe the biggest hurdle straight cis white men face in their lives is having to think before they speak bc other people might call them “insensitive” and theyre so upset abt this that they write long thinkpieces in respected national magazines about it
The New Year’s Eve confetti in NYC is
literally made of people’s hopes and
dreams. The Times Square Visitor Center
wall is open year round for people to put
Post-Its up with their next-year’s wishes.
Those wishes are made into confetti,
and thousands of dreams flutter across
Times Square as the ball drops. Source
They shred the dreams into confetti pre-emptively so you won’t have to worry about the rest of the year doing it to you. Better to have the dreams ruined on the first day.
